Licensed Clinician, Middle Way Wellness

Ferndale, MI · Hybrid Part-time or Full-time $55–$60/hr + Paid Admin Time

About Middle Way Wellness

Middle Way Wellness is a private practice in Ferndale, Michigan. We bring together therapy, yoga, and somatic work because we believe the body and mind are never really separate, and that good care meets people where they actually live: in their nervous systems, their relationships, and their daily lives.

We're a small, intentional team, and we hold ourselves to three commitments that shape everything we do. We think a practice can only offer its clients as much depth and steadiness as it offers the people working inside it, so we've built our culture around that idea.

Client Care

Depth, steadiness, and whole-person attention for the people we work with.

Clinician Care

A practice that invests in the people doing the work and supports their clinical and personal growth.

Community Care

Rooted connection to Ferndale and the wider Michigan community we serve.

About the Role

We're looking for a fully licensed clinician to join our team, either part-time or full-time. This is a hybrid position: some in-person availability at our Ferndale office is expected, alongside virtual sessions with clients across Michigan.

We're especially interested in clinicians who bring one of the following into their clinical work:

  • A yoga teaching or somatic therapy background, with an interest in integrating body-based practices into clinical care
  • Specialized training (Gottman and/or EFT) in couples counseling

If you're drawn to this kind of integrative, whole-person work, and you're looking for a small, community-oriented practice, we'd love to talk with you.

This role is also a great fit if you're thinking about what comes next in your career, whether that's growing into a larger role within Middle Way Wellness over time, or building the experience and confidence to start a practice of your own one day.

Compensation

Part-time clinicians are paid $55/hour for client sessions; full-time clinicians are paid $60/hour. Each clinical hour also earns an additional third of an hour of paid administrative time, compensated at that same rate, so a full caseload comes with built-in, paid time for notes, coordination, and the behind-the-scenes work good care requires. Based on a 48-week clinical year, here's what that looks like:

Part-Time

$35,200–$42,240/yr

10–12 client hours/week

Full-Time

$69,120+/yr

18+ client hours/week

Full-time clinicians also receive a 6% retirement match and 3 weeks of paid time off, together worth $8,640+ a year at the full-time minimum. That brings total full-time compensation to $77,760+ per year.

What You'll Do

  • Carry a caseload of individual and/or couples clients, seeing them both in-office and virtually
  • Bring your own clinical style and specialty into a practice that values integrative, body-inclusive approaches to care
  • Participate in a small-team culture where consultation, support, and connection with colleagues are part of the job, not an afterthought

What We're Looking For

  • A current, active clinical license in Michigan (LPC, LMSW, LMFT, or equivalent)
  • Experience or specialized training as a yoga teacher, somatic therapist, or couples counselor
  • Comfort working with both in-person and virtual clients
  • Availability for 10–12 client hours/week (part-time) or 18+ client hours/week (full-time)
  • A grounded, collaborative approach to clinical work and to being part of a team

Room to Create

Being a clinician here isn't only about the client hour. We actively support clinicians who want to build something of their own within the practice, whether that's a class, a workshop, or an ongoing group, and bring it out into the Ferndale community. It's part of how we live out community care: creating spaces where people can find us, and each other, before they ever need therapy.

Past examples from our team include a Gottman-informed communication workshop for couples, a beginner meditation series, and free community yoga classes hosted at local Ferndale spots. If you have an idea for a class, workshop, or group you'd want to run, we want to hear it, and we'll help you bring it to life.

Classes

Yoga, meditation, and movement-based classes open to the community.

Workshops

Focused offerings built around your specialty: couples communication, anxiety and the nervous system, mindfulness fundamentals.

Groups

Recurring groups that build community and connection around the populations you care about most.

What We Offer

  • Credentialing support with BCBS and BCN
  • W-2 hourly pay: $55/hour for clinical work ($60/hour for full-time clinicians), plus paid administrative time at the same rate (see Compensation above)
  • A small, supportive team environment where clinicians genuinely know and support one another
  • For full-time clinicians: 6% retirement match, paid time off, and paid professional development

We do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, height, weight, marital status, disability, or any other status protected under applicable federal, state, or local law.
